Maasai Education Foundation

The Maasai Education Foundation (Foundation) was formed in November 2016. The Foundation provides charitable support for the education of the Maasai people in the Arusha region of The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania), the mastery of the English language by Maasai children and adults, and educational exchange opportunities between Tanzania and the United States. The Foundation bylaws stipulate that the Foundation will devote at least 90% of donations to program expenses directly benefiting Maasai education and that all Foundation board members and others will be unpaid volunteers. The Foundation's primary activity is support for the Engaruka English Medium Primary School, which is operated by the Engaruka Community Initiative Organization. The school started operation in February 2017 with pre-schoolers and will add one grade per year until grades k and 1 to 7 are offered.
